We cannot get an atmosphere going without people trying

We are organising a bit of a meeting this / next week in the Sandy Pate bar to see how we can combat it. I'll add the date and time here. All ideas ideas welcome.

Just one little idea if one of you lads can put it to the club Jase.

At the start of the match the club is playing Hermans Hermits - I'm into something good. Fair enough but they only need to play the first couple of beats and then let the fans sing it rather than try and outsing the tannoy, it's probably the only time nearly all of the ground join in!

Check out how Sheff U do this at the start of the game by just playing the first couple of beats of Annie's song to get the Greasy Chip Butty going.https://youtu.be/gogWxcWanFY

I think I was the only 1 yesterday, come on join in, ya never no you might like it...

Woke up this morning feeling fine...

Simple answer is because many of them have already had a turn

Many of the older fans have

Stood On the old north stand terrace and sung their hearts out from 2pm till full time on a Saturday

Chanted songs for every player from the keeper to number 11 that consisted of more than one word ( with the exception of Dudley )

Created a song about the spirities that is still being sung 40 years on .

Arranged travel to away games long before supporters clubs were popular

Stuck by their local club while the European champions were playing 14 miles away

Done a sponsored walk to raise funds for the club

Witnessed so many false dawns but still keep believing

Many of the supporters who join in less frequently or hardly ever have seen it all before and only join in when something "worth " shouting about is happening or the atmosphere is good . The responsibility of creating an atmosphere that the older generation will join in now lies firmly in the hands of the yoof and a few older die hards.

I will concede that it was a lot easier to get an atmosphere going on the north stand terrace than it is now in an all seater stadium ,but , the fact remains that it was still the same age group as the current set of lads who are trying to get behind the team .try spreading the word amongst the young uns that things are changing at the mill and you may get more people to join in .

Great post One f, the North Stand back in the old terrace days was the place to be. For years and years I'd leave after a game and would hardly be able to speak next day I was that hoarse. I admire what the boys/lads are trying to do at present but liked the singers in an end stand best. The night we beat Grimsby in the Conf title year reminded me of the old NS days, the QLE was bouncing that day and the team fed off the noise. No I'm not moaning it's just my take on things.

when it comes to season tickets, P and Q should be allocated loud / singing blocks and fans wanting to sit there should be warned. fair enough this season, but not joining in next season is not on, it just puts dampeners on it!

yeah, but if they actively dont like it, they can move their ST, is what I'm saying.

Agree for next season. For this though respect their right to sit/stand in their seat

yep, but this great move by a section of the clubs fans shouldnt be jeopardised in the long term because Ian and Paul have always sat there.

On the flip side, why should people who have sat in P block for years be forced to move to accommodate people who haven't been seen at the Mill for years simply because they want a sing song? There's whole empty block next to Q block isn't there? Why cant that be used?

Correct. Common sense. Have to boot kids out of my reserved seat every week. I do join in singing though as Chand and Random (games) will testify.
